One-one-two
The sky is getting darker, and it's a new night.
How many days did she stay in the carriage?
Calculating the itinerary, they are about to arrive at the border, leave Qianduji, and enter the land of the Remirabel Kingdom.
She held her chin and looked out the window at the scenery, which was a completely different atmosphere from the last time she left Qianduji.
At this time, the entire carriage procession was filled with an unconcealable sense of tension.
Everyone is nervous about this six-nation meeting, which is an extremely grand event for this continent.
The carriage she was riding in was completely untouchable by the bumps on the ground, and even to avoid fatigue, the interior of the carriage was decorated like a palace bedroom, with beds and pillows, and curtains to avoid the light. Everything in the carriage was extremely luxurious, and the exquisite design and materials used were of the highest order that only the royal family could enjoy.
Despite the carriage, the journey was very comfortable.
But......
"It's a little boring. ”
She told herself to be patient, and that she should feel better when she reached Remirabelle.
The six-nation meeting has some expectations in my heart and looks forward to starting as soon as possible.
Of course, she had to figure out how to get them back.
In any case, they are all her important subordinates, and before they can think of a way, they can only suffer a little more for them. Thankfully, one of the two was completely unaware, and the other was tighter than everyone else and didn't need to worry. The only thing to deal with was the possibility of meeting Lillian Kling and being charged on the spot at the six-nation meeting.
Some time ago, she was targeted by the Blue Dragon Temple, even if she was the queen, she couldn't do it without leaving any clues. The name Christie Christopher, which I used during my travels, was only used because it was funny. However, the Sifang Temple immediately deduced that it was the queen of Qianduji, and it was not simple.
Christian looked out the window, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the carriage.
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready. ”
"Got it, Frina, I'll be out later. ”
As she spoke, Flora came to her side, as the head maid, Flora has the responsibility of taking care of Christianie, not to mention, Flora is a good friend of her mother, and she has been taking care of herself since she was a child, except for her brother and several knights, Florina is Christie's most trusted person.
"Your Majesty, your hair is a little messy, you shouldn't always sit at the window, please turn around and let me recomb your hair. ”
"Please, Frina. ”
A lot of the time, Christie's hairstyle is left to Frina.
"Really, I'm not with you, you're always so sloppy with your hair, and you, as Your Majesty, must always maintain the perfect image, which is not at all like her. ”
"Because of Frina, and besides, I'm not a mother. ”
"To be honest, that's really reassuring. ”
"That's right, Frina. ”
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
"When I was three years old, you began to take care of me, and it has been fifteen years, and I thought that you would always stay in Qianduji. Are you really going to leave? Get out of here. ”
"I haven't been back for a long, long time, and to say that I don't miss my hometown at all, it's false, and I'll leave after the six-nation meeting. As for the work of the head maid, I am also fully prepared for the handover, and you need not worry, Your Majesty. ”
“…… yes, I'll miss you. ”
"This kind of thing, only we can say it in private, so that others can hear it, and I, the head maid, will be guilty of disrespect. ”
"There is no such thing, I have always regarded you as my second mother, and my brother will not mind. ”
"I'm also a little reluctant to leave you. ”
Furina smiled, and her hand movements stopped.
"Hairstyling, Your Majesty, it's time for dinner. ”
An hour later, when dinner time was over, the carriage parade decided to camp out in the same place and set off again at dawn, and soon to enter Remy La Belle, a few hours of sleep that would not affect the journey.
Christie sat in the carriage and rested all the time, and it was rare to have a time to walk and blow the wind, so naturally she couldn't miss it.
Accompanied by four knights, walk around the neighborhood.
After walking for a while, he began to gradually move away from the area where he was camped and rested, and the bridge was the first to notice this, and reminded Christie not to go any further.
"You're being too cautious, there are some things I just want to say to a few of you. ”
"But, Your Majesty. ”
"Qiao is worried, but your majesty, let's take a little more walk with you, and don't let others worry too much. ”
Yan interjected, and Shen and Qian glanced at each other, unable to hide their surprise on their faces.
Shallow and deep muttered, "I didn't dare to say a word from just now, it's really surprising, I actually saw Brother Yan's preaching here, deep! This is the first time, Brother Yan's preaching!"
"Shallow...... Shh
"You two, I heard you. ”
Yan turned his head suddenly, his eyes were sharp, and the two of them immediately tensed their bodies, not even daring to exhale, their mood became worried, and their voices became timid, "I'm sorry...... Brother Yan ......"
"That's it, Flame, and the bridge, don't worry, I have important things to tell you. ”
Christian turned to face the knights.
"Your Majesty?"
“……”
"Why do you feel so nervous ...... all of a sudden?"
"Shallow, I feel that way too......"
The young queen stroked her long hair and spoke slowly.
"You all know Xiao Tie's situation, the reason why he was so seriously injured is because I sent him on a secret mission. Now, the person who replaces Xiao Tie to continue this task is Luke, but unfortunately, he is now caught, and even I don't know where he is, so ......"
******
At the end of the walk, the Twins separated from the bridge and the flame and returned to the tent where they were resting.
"Secret Mission...... Deep, what do you think?"
"I don't know...... I think that must be dangerous. ”
"Indeed...... However, I have a feeling of unwillingness, Your Majesty actually assigned such an important task to Xiao Tie, does Your Majesty value Xiao Tie more than us? We were compared to that civilian knight!"
"I don't think so, shallow, is this called jealousy?, in fact, I sympathize with him, and I feel sorry for him, it must be very painful to be hurt so badly...... But ah, I feel very glad that we weren't involved in such a dangerous mission, which sounds selfish. If we miss this six-nation meeting, we will regret it very much. Moreover, next, we must take Xiao Tie's share and protect Your Majesty well!"
"Me too, don't say it, let's sleep, we have to keep watch and patrol in the middle of the night, we can only sleep for four hours at most today!"
"That's right, good night, Rand. ”
"Good night, Roy. ”
For the twins, it is only at this time that they will call each other by their own names, and when they appear in the palace as a member of the Knights, they can only use the titles given by Christiane, the Knight of the Deep Moon and the Knight of the Light Moon, for convenience, simplified to deep and shallow.
The knighthood bestowed upon Her Majesty the Queen herself is the highest honour of all knights.
In an ornate circular tent, Christian sat in front of a mirror, slowly combing her hair.
After a while, as if thinking of something, I walked to the door and found the bridge guarding there.
"Your Majesty?"
"I slept too much during the day, I didn't feel sleepy, talk to me. ”
“…… Alas, this is the time, please don't leave the tent casually, don't embarrass me. ”
"I don't like you to sigh, Bridge, aren't you curious? ”
"This kind of thing is not something that can be said casually outside......
"It's okay, it's just the two of us here, the other knights are on the other side, they can't hear it. ”
"But. ”
"Okay, then let's not talk about it, I want to go for a walk again, can you accompany me? It's just the two of us, we don't need Flame around, and we don't need Twins. ”
"It is my mission to protect your safety, I have already persuaded you, and if you still say so, Your Majesty, there is no way. ”
"Let's go, we haven't tried to get along like this in a long time. ”
Bridge glanced at Christie, didn't know what to think, and frowned slightly.
Although it was a walk, this time, the two of them did not go too far.
"Remember when you were a kid? You and my brother would always hold my hand and walk around the palace, and at that time, it seemed like we were playing a game called adventure? Thanks to you and my brother, my childhood would not have been so boring, only you, I had no friends but you. ”
“…… Your Majesty. ”
"Why can't you go back to that time? When you become a queen, you have so many responsibilities. ”
"Your Majesty, don't say that again. ”
"I see, you really don't need to worry about being heard, they won't take it seriously. ”
"Your Majesty!"
"Really, when did you start to become so serious? ”
"I've always hoped that you and you could go back to that time. ”
“……”
"Bridge, can you answer me a question? When did you start to change? Was that the day I accepted to be crowned queen?"
“…… I'm sorry. ”
Christie turned her head and looked at the bridge beside her, recalling what had happened before she became queen.
Many, many more things happened before being crowned.
The parents of Christian and Christopher, the former owners of the country. At that time, because of a riot in a certain town, the lord of that place was assassinated by gangsters while patrolling his territory. That lord was a remote branch of the royal family, and was also somewhat related by blood. In order to mourn, the queen and his wife went to that town in person, and on the way back to the imperial city, they were caught in the attack of the dragon.
At that time, there were not many guardian knights around them, in order to allow them to escape smoothly, the knights desperately guarded the queen and his wife, trying to help them avoid this crisis, however, on the way to escape a mountain, the carriage unfortunately fell from the mountain, and at that moment, the queen and his wife fell down the mountain together in the carriage.
That incident, which happened when Christie was thirteen years old, was unimaginable bad news for the Chris siblings at that time.
When she heard the news, she fell to the ground with a pale face and fainted until she was found.
After that, it was the funeral, and the whole country mourned.
The remains of the parents were carefully transported back to the imperial capital, and on the day of the funeral, the palace gates were completely open, first the nobles, then the merchants and commoners, and everyone in the imperial capital attended the funeral and offered white flowers to the deceased.
At the funeral, there are white flowers piled up in units of 10,000, and as soon as the wind passes, the white flowers will dance around with the wind, and the vision is the countless small white flowers dancing in the air, which is simply overwhelming.
Christie has never forgotten that scene.
The funeral ceremony was held for a few days, and the chief shaman of the Sifang Temple was invited to preside over the ceremony.
Finally, after the funeral, Christie 'disappeared' from the palace.
It took several days to search the entire palace, searching every corner, but no one found Christie.
Even his own brother didn't find her.
Ending this memory and returning to reality, Christie raised her head slightly.
"Thank you for finding me then. ”
"If no one had found me, I probably wouldn't be here now. ”
“…… Your Majesty, please don't say such things. ”
"I haven't heard your answer yet. ”
"Your Majesty, I ......"
"Okay, can I make a request?"
"I'm sorry......"
"No need to apologize, bridge, can you meet this request that I want to make next? Can you do it? I'm just asking about it now. ”
"Your Majesty, what are the requirements?"
"Do you remember how you found me? I mean you found me and said a lot to me in the days when I disappeared from the palace without permission, can you do those things to me again?"
“……”
"Bridge?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't behave in a way that doesn't qualify for a good knight, and besides, I was reckless that time. ”
"You are running away and comforting a woman in grief and sorrow, and it has nothing to do with losing your good knightly style. Qiao, you hugged me at that time, and that moment reminded me of my parents, although it was very stiff, and now you are also very stiff, but you already know my mind, right? You are different from other people, in my heart. ”
"I ...... Also hinted at a couple of ......"
stared straight at the other party's face, not letting go of the slightest change in his face.
"Do you have to say it so clearly?"
Disbelief, a hint of confusion and entanglement, a hint of joy, and finally a dodgy gaze.
He didn't dare to look directly at him, and his expression became cringe.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I ......"
"I see. ”
The heart sank, really sank, sank to the deepest.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't have this qualification, a more honorable and better person is suitable for you. ”
"Better people?
"I'm just a knight, it's my mission to protect you, I can't ......"
"I want to know what you really think. ”
"I'm really sorry, Your Majesty, it's late at night, and if you don't go back to rest, you'll be tired from tomorrow's trip, and I think it's time to go back. ”
“……”
He is always like this, always like this, obviously in his heart, but in the end, he retreats, he always minds that the different classes and identities are different, and his status is so humble and low. She set up this order and made him the head of the order, the first knight of the country, which ...... Isn't that enough?
"Forget it, you're going to protect me as you did then, right?"
When the bridge found her, he remembered every word of what he said.
"I will protect you, I will be a knight, I will protect you. ”
"So, please don't cry, I will be with you, no matter what happens, I will always protect you. ”
At that time, he couldn't say many words of comfort, and these two sentences were precious enough for Christie at that time.
She didn't understand it anymore, why dodge?
What is this kind of feeling? I feel congested and uncomfortable? Even if I confess my heart, I can't get the response I want.
Before going to bed, Christie glanced at the candlelight placed on the countertop, the flame in the lamp suddenly jumped, and turned back without any abnormality.
"Got a lot of heart?"
The moment she turned around, Christie immediately left where she was, striding away with the heavy hem of her skirt and flashing to the right.
Turning again, an extra shadow appeared on the ground, and he looked up along the shadow of the ground and saw an unfamiliar face.
"Are you...... Who?"
She looked at the other person, and the other looked at herself.
"Let me ask you, who are you?"
It was a girl who looked about her age, and the most important thing was that she had rare purple hair, a pair of purple eyes, and an inhuman aura all over her body.
If it weren't for the sudden beating flames and the extra shadows on the ground, this guy would be so silent that even Christie would not be able to spot, and how did she sneak in here from the eyes and ears of the knights outside?
There is a magical barrier in this tent, and no one can enter it unless it is Christie herself, and it is absolutely impossible to force a breakthrough, and the magical elements that are in turmoil because of this will definitely attract people's attention.
"What is your purpose? Who instructed you?
“…… I've come looking for someone, and although the smell is faint, you must know where he is, tell me, where is he?"
"Someone? That's the most ridiculous excuse I've ever heard. ”
What should I do? Just stun this person? Ignore this person's strength, if you do that, this tent will be destroyed.
"It's not an excuse! It's not a lie, hurry up and give me an explanation!"
"Confession, no one has ever dared to talk to me like that. ”
Christie raised her right hand, and as soon as she finished speaking, a silver wand appeared in her hand, and a word was read softly, and a silver-gray cage fell, along with the nearby lampstand, and was trapped in the silver cage with the man.
"That's my favorite candle, you can just stay in it, if it breaks somewhere, I don't guarantee you'll be fine." Now, just be honest with me, who sent you here?"
"You're talking too much nonsense. ”
She took a step forward and grabbed the magic cage with both hands.
"It's useless, it's just a wasted effort. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, what she expected in her heart did not happen, and if her hand touched the cage, it would definitely be bounced away immediately. However, the magic cage shook up, and her hand was not bounced off, and after a few shakes, the magic cage was dismantled, and the magic turned into a fragment of light that dissipated.
“…… How the hell did you do that?"
